Charity fight night for complete beginners who complete eight weeks of free professional boxing training before their bout, held as a black-tie event.
Ultra White Collar Boxing takes over Planet Ice on Saturday 28 November, and if you've never come across it, the whole thing is built around complete beginners. It's not a night for seasoned fighters: anyone with no boxing background signs up and gets eight weeks of free professional training, worth £300, before being matched with an opponent of a similar level. The bouts go over three rounds, with both boxers wearing 16oz gloves and head guards at a fully regulated event staged in front of friends and family. The money raised goes to charity, and boxers are asked to raise at least £50 and sell tickets to their supporters.
It's a black-tie occasion, so it's as much about the dress code as the boxing, and the organisation has held similar nights in more than 100 cities across the UK. The training for this Milton Keynes edition started the week of Monday 5 October at Pavilion, Manor Fields, Fenny Stratford, Bletchley, MK2 2HX, so by the time the first bell rings on the 28th, everyone on the card will have had two months in the gym.
